China Glaze is launching a brand new collection of six neon shades for this summer. The release date is April 1st, so it is about time for some swacthes :) All of these will make you stand out of the crowd. They are bold and very bright. You will not believe how bright they are, until you see them in person. edit: video of the whole collection - very accurate colors!

Application: neons have some specifics, you need to know about. First of all, they dry matte. To get the shine, just apply a layer of topcoat. I used Seche Vite on all the pictures. Second, try to apply these in thin coats and always let each coat dry completely before applying the other. This way you will prevent streaks and missing patches of color.

Application tip: try to apply your neon on a coat of white nail polish. This way you can prevent VNL and make the colors pop.

Very bright neon yellow. A bit hard to work with, I had to do four coats. I think white polish under would solve the problem. Still nothing one can´t handle and the result is worth it. It really shines!

This stuff is radioactive! I think it is the brightest of the whole collection. A hot pink neon. I will be wearing Pool Party a lot in the summer, I am sure of that. Great application, had no problems. Three coats.

Another great name for a polish. This is the only one with shimmer and I wouldn´t call it a neon, although it dries matte. It a beautiful blue with shimmer. I added a picture in the sun, so that you can see it. My favourite of the collection. Three coats.

Overall I really like this collection. Some of them were harder to apply, but if you follow the application tips, you are ok :) In this collection, you get all you need for summer. Fun, bright neon colors, that will make you always stand out! Can´t wait to walk on the beach with these beauties!

P.S. too bad there is not a purple neon, but I want a purple polish in every collection, so don´t listen to me :P

Hello dear readers! How is your Sunday? :) Today I made another of mine jewellery inspired manis. I used Orly Gumdrop as a base. I really fell in love with Gumdrop, can´t believe I wouldn´t buy this myself....what a fool! For the Konad design I used plate M50 and Color Club Black (I know Silver would look better, but I wanted the stamping to stand out a bit more). I hope you like it :)

Today I bring you the promised Nfu Oh 46. I think that these polishes look best layered on another, but I swatched it alone, so you can see the color. The base is a bright medium red and the flakies go from red to gold. Would look perfect on a red or black base. On the pictures I have three coats and still VNL. Really better for layering, but still an awesome color. Sometimes I just wish I had all of them :)

Today´s post is a continuation of yesterday´s turquoise eyeshadow post. I have a really nice belt, that is turquouise and also has purple in it. So I tried to do a matching mani :) I used my favourite Orly polish as a base (I only have the mini version and I MUST get the normal size) and for stamping I used China Glaze Harmony and Konad plate M64. I love it!

I love these colors on my eyes, but don´t wear them much in the winter. Since spring has come, I wanted to share with you my six favourite eyeshadows and one eyeliner. I also want to know your favourite ones. Tell me!

This was such a nice surprise :) It was so sheer in the first coat, but then the color builded in the third and covered ok. I love the color, oh wow. This is my first polish from this brand, looks like I will have to try some more :) What is your experience with L.A. Colors, do you like it?

Thank you Laura for sending me this polish, it is perfect for spring! In fakt it reminds me of Easter...the green grass. I am glad I could try one of these polishes, as we don´t get them in my country. On the pictures I have three coats and no top coat.

I can´t wait for the Poolside collection to come out, but before it does, why don´t we have a look at an older China Glaze neon. Purple Panic is a beautiful purplish pink with blue shimmer. I LOVE blue shimmer in pinks! I have three coats and as all neon polishes, this dries matte, so I added Seche Vite. Isn´t it lovely? What other neons from China Glaze do you like? :)

When I am lazy to take my polish off but want a change, I layer something on top. One of my favourite polishes for layering is China Glaze Watermelon Rind which I put over C-C-Courage. I loved the effect it made...the colors went from purple to teal. Lovely!

With my growing nail polish obssesion, I tend to buy very little makeup, but I couldn´t resist this beauty :) This is from the Spring Colour Forecast Collection. It constists of two colors that merge into each other - cool pink and soft purple. When you mix these two the result is very pretty. You can apply this in a very thin layer or build the color up. It has a very light shimmer, which you can see on the detail picture. The shimmer is not very visible on the skin, you just get the glow :) I really like it.
